Garden angelica is a stately, architectural herb that prefers cool, moist conditions and partial shade, making it ideal for woodland or cottage garden settings. It is a short-lived perennial or biennial that self-seeds freely, so allow some seed heads to mature if you want it to naturalise. The stems, seeds, and roots have a long history of culinary and herbal medicinal use.
